It was him! Xander Tsakis. The insignia on his helicopter was unmistakable.

Would everything change now?

An involuntary shiver gripped Rosy as the powerful aircraft cast a shadow over the playground. Would Xander Tsakis be any better for the island than his brother Achilles? A great wave of concern for the children at the school washed over her. There was only one way to find out. She would go and see him, and ask what he meant to do to help them.

The next few minutes almost made Rosy change her mind.

Almost.

The helicopter swooped away and started flying low over the ocean. A door opened and a figure emerged. He was even more imposing than she had imagined. Barely clothed, his body was magnificent. Hard-muscled and tanned, there was no office pallor in sight. This billionaire looked exactly as the press described him: a ruthless, hard-nosed, polo-playing playboy. Which made it imperative to confront him right away, before he left on another of his global trips.

Balanced casually on the skids of the helicopter, he chose his moment, then executed a perfect swallow dive into the sea. Considering her inexperience where men were concerned, Rosy’s body reacted with extraordinary enthusiasm to its first sight of an almost naked Xander Tsakis. Well, it could yearn all it liked, but this was Achilles’ brother. They might not share the same blood, but could he be so different, having grown up alongside a fiend like that?

Shepherding the children back into school, Rosy firmed her jaw. Whoever, and whatever, Xander Tsakis turned out to be on closer inspection, she would confront him with her concerns about the school.

First things first: she had to get it through her head that Achilles was gone, and was never coming back, though each time she walked into the classroom it was as if the shadow of his leering face was lurking just around the corner. That day when he’d caught her alone and she’d felt the full, nauseating force of his rarely cleaned teeth invading her nostrils as he pressed her down on the desk... She shuddered now at the thought of it. If her friend and fellow teacher Alexa hadn’t chosen that moment to come into the schoolroom, causing Achilles to lurch back with that sickly ‘whatever’s happened here, it’s not my fault’ sneer on his face, who knew what might have happened? Rosy was strong for her size, but Achilles had been stronger.

These children, and all the children who came after them, depended on their teachers to protect them and their school. Confronting Xander Tsakis couldn’t wait. Hadn’t the islanders suffered enough? Hardship under Achilles had been brief but devastating for everyone on Praxos. The Tsakis family owned the island and paid all the wages, until Achilles had started siphoning off the money for himself. Hardship had led to a barter system that was still working well, but it couldn’t go on for ever. The islanders were already voting with their feet, leaving for the mainland in droves. If Rosy waited any longer to petition the last remaining Tsakis on the island there’d be no one left.
